             Summary: Regression in checkpoint size when performing full 
checkpointing in RocksDB
                 Key: FLINK-35853
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-35853
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Runtime / State Backends
    Affects Versions: 1.18.1
         Environment: amazon-linux-2023
            Reporter: Keith Lee
         Attachments: StaticStateSizeGenerator115.java, 
StaticStateSizeGenerator118.java

We have an job with small and static state size (states are updated instead of 
added), the job is configured to use RocksDB + full checkpointng (incremental 
disabled) because the diff between checkpoint is larger than full checkpoint 
size. 

After migrating to 1.18, we observed significant and steady increase in full 
checkpoint size with RocksDB + full checkpointing. The increase was not 
observed with hashmap state backend.

I managed to reproduce the issue with following code:

[^StaticStateSizeGenerator115.java]
[^StaticStateSizeGenerator118.java]

Result:

On Flink 1.15, RocksDB + full checkpointing, checkpoint size is constant at 
250KiB.
On Flink 1.18, RocksDB + full checkpointing, max checkpoint size got up to 
38MiB before dropping (presumably due to compaction?)
On Flink 1.18, Hashmap statebackend, checkpoint size is constant at 219KiB.

Notes:

One observation I have is that the issue is more pronounced with higher 
parallelism, the code uses 8 parallelism. The production application that we 
first saw the regression got up to GiB of checkpoint size, where only expected 
and observed (in 1.15) at most a couple of MiB.
